  • 1.  zOS SYSLOG time versus timestamps in IDMS JOURNALs . . .

    Posted Nov 29, 2006 10:29 PM
    Hello again fellow listees . . .

    IDMS R15.0 SP2, running under zOS R1.4.

    Here's something strange (at least to me):

    Given a batch job executing DML-CoBOL steps, based on the display upon
    the JES log of SYSIDMS parameters for each step, and the standard JES
    'end-of-step' messages:

    23.33.00 JOB03518 ---- SATURDAY, 25 NOV 2006 ---- 23.33.00 JOB03518

    one would logically surmise that:

    step S010 ran (roughly) from 23.33.08 to 23.33.09, step S015 ran
    (roughly) from 23.33.10 to 23.33.10, and step S020 ran (roughly) from
    23.33.11 to 01.24.50 the next day

    however, output from an IDMSBCF ""EXTRACT JOURNAL"" seems to indicate
    otherwise:

    I can see being ""off"" by a second maybe (i.e. due to I/O delays, etc.),
    but over twenty?

    Only one of the programs (STEPS020) does a DISPLAY of the current system
    TIME on SYSLST when it starts and it is, in fact, 23.32.48, which is
    earlier than the time on SYSLOG that the job was SUBMITED, much less
    STARTED . . .

    Can anyone shed any light on this? Or am I making a mountain out of a
    molehill? Is the SYSLOG time possibly ""from somewhere else"" and there's
    something ever so slightly amiss in zOS? (not my yob anymore...)

    TIA for all thought and replies.

    "This is a wild guess since I am not at a shop with IDMS right now, so I don;t have my quick references or access to test it. . .

    But if you are checking for 8 digit dates,
    Shouldnt the functions be DATEOFFX (I thought the functions without the X at the end were for the two digit years).
    (I don't recall about TODAY - whether there is a TODAYX.)

    "I think it is because you have different data types.

    With a character (pic x) field you get the token error.
    With a numeric (pic(9) field you get a syntax error.
    The result of DateOff is something else.

    You may need the following format:
    AND [date-field] > EXTRACT(DATEOFFX(TODAYX(G),'-7'))
    AND [date-field] < EXTRACT(DATEOFFX(TODAYX(G),'-1'))

    Well, who would think to look in the ADS manual for OLQ syntax . . .
    Nevertheless, this did not change the outcome at all. However, since
    that example specifically notes a six-byte date field, I decided to try
    TODAY instead of TODAYX . . . No change as well.

    Replaced the TODAY('G') call nested in both DATEOFF calls with 061130,
    and the error message is the same but now points to token #99 instead of
    #102 as previously.

    This is looking more and more like a parser issue.

    I can see being ""off"" by a second maybe (i.e. due to I/O delays, etc.),
    but over twenty?

    Only one of the programs (STEPS020) does a DISPLAY of the current system
    TIME on SYSLST when it starts and it is, in fact, 23.32.48, which is
    earlier than the time on SYSLOG that the job was SUBMITED, much less
    STARTED . . .

    Can anyone shed any light on this? Or am I making a mountain out of a
    molehill? Is the SYSLOG time possibly ""from somewhere else"" and there's
    something ever so slightly amiss in zOS? (not my yob anymore...)

    TIA for all thought and replies.

    Hello again fellow listees . . .

    IDMS R15.0 SP2, running under zOS R1.4.

    Here's something strange (at least to me):

    Re: zOS SYSLOG time versus timestamps in IDMS JOURNALs . . .
    "You may want to consult with your systems programmer on this issue.
    There may be a clock synchronization issue or perhaps an operator issue.
    I vaguely remember having a similar problem a long time ago but can't
    remember the exact details on how operations and/or the systems
    programmer managed to mess things up. BTW, while doing a little
    research for you on IBM's website I did notice the following that may be
    of interest to the entire list:

    This is about the change to Daylight Savings Time that is effective next

    It was obviously late for you too . . . the difference between the times
    is consistently 24'ish seconds -look at the times again; the times in
    BCF are earlier than those from SYSLOG.

    Nevertheless, OK, so the difference is consistent. But WHY is there a
    difference in the first place? That's what is agonizing me . . . And
    this came about because I was doing a ROLL FORWARD of a copy of this
    database to the start of this job, so I grabbed the time from SYSLOG as
    the ""STOP"" time for the EXTRACT JOURNAL - is this a bad idea? Of
    course, in this case, it was . . . but what does everyone else do?

    Nevertheless, thanks for taking the time to respond.

    It was obviously late at night when you looked at this - you may have
    mixed the minutes and seconds up in the IDMS date/time stamp - looks to
    me like the difference between the times is consistently 36'ish seconds.
    I may be wrong - it's been known ;-) HTH
